FLAT FEE DIVORCE RATES
Lawyers usually represent people in divorce and custody issues on an hourly basis. This means that to have legal representation, you need to pay both a "retainer fee" of several thousand dollars in addition to a monthly bill of hourly services. We do represent people this way, but we also offer reasonably-priced hourly coaching or flat fee packages for divorce and custody issues. This way, we can assist you on parts of your case while you keep your expenses affordable and predictable.
Feel free to contact us to see what option is best for you.
